Launched in 2007, the West Virginia News Service is part of a network of independent public interest state-based news services pioneered by Public News Service. Our mission is an informed and engaged citizenry making educated decisions in service to democracy; and our role is to inform, inspire, excite and sometimes reassure people in a constantly changing environment through reporting spans political, geographic and technical divides. Especially valuable in this turbulent climate for journalism, currently 71 news outlets in West Virginia and neighboring markets regularly pick up and redistribute our stories. Last year, an average of 14 media outlets used each West Virginia News Service story. These include outlets like the The Charleston Gazette, WAMX- FM Huntington, Clear Channel News talk, WKWK-FM Wheeling Clear Channel News talk, WBKS-FM Clear Channel Ironton, WHRD-AM Clear Channel Huntington, WTCR-AM Clear Channel Kenova, NewsTaco The Latino Daily online and Nicholas Chronicle. Making a Difference Our ability to support a vibrant democracy and stay educated on the issues that affect our lives is challenged by increasingly fragmented media with under-resourced newsrooms. The result is not more voices, but more of the same voices - just louder - dominating public dialogue on mainstream media. Our solution: We deliver multi-platform, public interest news to ALL the news outlets in West Virginia and border markets: broadcast, print, online and social media. Where we have funding, we also translate and distribute stories to all Spanish-speaking media and offer supporters access to Mainstream Media Projects’ talk show booking service and additional media services. Across the country, Public News Service is reaching over 24 million people weekly through over 8,000 media outlets. The map on the front page shows the media outlets that picked up our stories last year across West Virginia. You can see the full list of outlet pickup in Section eight. www.publicnewsservice.org • [email protected] facebook.com/PublicNewsService twitter.com/pns_news twitter.com/pns_WVpns_anc 3980 Broadway Street, Suite 103 Box 139 • Boulder, CO 80304 • Phone: 888.891.9416 • Fax: 208.247.1830 West Virginia News Service • westvirginianewsservice.org page 3 How We Work Our diverse funding mechanism allows anyone to be a philanthropist. Memberships, gifts and grants help fund our beats. Similar to ‘voting’ for your favorite program on public broadcasting, there is explicit understanding that all editorial authority rests with PNS. A regular annual membership contribution provides resources to report on 6-8 stories. We welcome pitches from our supporters and assistance in finding spokespeople and information for timely news stories on the issues they care about. Our job is to cover the issues that matter: supporters are not excluded from being quoted themselves, however any branding opportunity is ancillary and minimal. (For branding needs or campaigning, please check out our PR sister SoundBite Services in Section Seven!) Our producers generate story ideas and take pitches. Usually all it takes is an email or phone call - news releases are not necessary – and being available by phone for fact-checking once the story is done. Each completed news story (with versions for broadcasters, online, print and podcasts) is sent to media outlets statewide, national networks when appropriate, and members receive a detailed pickup report. www.publicnewsservice.org • [email protected] facebook.com/PublicNewsService twitter.com/pns_news twitter.com/pns_WVpns_anc 3980 Broadway Street, Suite 103 Box 139 • Boulder, CO 80304 • Phone: 888.891.9416 • Fax: 208.247.1830 page 3 West Virginia News Service • westvirginianewsservice.org page 4 2. Our Reach 24 Million per Week Through 8,000 Media Outlets... Now offering “seamless delivery” via legacy, new and digital media, West Virginia News Service content is used at the local and national level by print, radio, TV and online outlets, from local newspapers, community broadcasters and blogs to national networks like Huffington Post, Clear Channel (now known as News Talk Network), CBS, Sirius Satellite Radio and Native Network News. We distribute to 10s of thousands of media outlets and over 8,000 are regularly using our content, reaching individuals and thought-leaders seeking information and solutions. Last year, West Virginia News Service produced 140 news stories, which ran a total of 1,905 on 50 radio stations and 21 print outlets for a total of 71 media outlets in West Virginia and border states and 460 regionally/nationwide. About 1/3 of this content was picked up by national networks, like (formerly known as Clear Channel’s) News Talk Network, Sirius, CBS and Native News Network. Each story was tweeted and shared through other social media channels, reposted on hundreds of websites and together viewed more than 32,000 times on the Public News Service web page alone. Market Share Radio Coverage in West Virginia Last year our stories got picked up by a significant share of radio stations in the top media markets of West Virginia -- the graph below illustrates the pickup in each market. We would love to get the same great coverage for issues you care about now! Additionally, 22 outlets use WVNS that are outside the media markets ranked by Arbitron. www.publicnewsservice.org • [email protected] facebook.com/PublicNewsService twitter.com/pns_news twitter.com/pns_WVpns_anc 3980 Broadway Street, Suite 103 Box 139 • Boulder, CO 80304 • Phone: 888.891.9416 • Fax: 208.247.1830 West Virginia News Service • westvirginianewsservice.org page 5 The Issues We Cover The graph below illustrates the coverage of funded issues from last year in West Virginia. A well-rounded news service helps ensure the greatest media outlet pickup. Counter to what one might think, the more stories we send out, the more they are all picked up and redistributed. If you don’t see stories on topics you care deeply about... that means the funds aren’t there yet! See the list of issues that your funding can help support today in Section Six! Our “orphan issues” do not receive any funding at all - would you consider “adopting” coverage on what is most important to you? www.publicnewsservice.org • [email protected] facebook.com/PublicNewsService twitter.com/pns_news twitter.com/pns_WVpns_anc 3980 Broadway Street, Suite 103 Box 139 • Boulder, CO 80304 • Phone: 888.891.9416 • Fax: 208.247.1830 page 5 West Virginia News Service • westvirginianewsservice.org page 6 3. Why Solution-Focused Journalism Matters More Than Ever... There is a ‘new normal’ as journalism reinvents itself. Gaining access to the dominant media is increasingly dependent on being able to relate to journalists in time-saving ways. Often this expertise comes with a hefty price tag, and those with fewer resources have a harder time being heard and taken seriously in the public arena. In fact, annual spending in the U.S. on PR services (already at $4 billion) is expected to grow 55 percent (to $8.3 billion) from 2009 to 2013. The public officially owns the airwaves, but the companies that run them sell that airspace, and in general media outlets see any space under their control as “real estate” with financial value. Larger corporations and charitable institutions have the resources to underwrite content in return for branding and advertising. Public broadcasting allows small donors to vote for the specific programs they like. Our model allows anyone to fund, or help fund, independent reporting on any issue. This is a new model that allows anyone or any organization to be a philanthropist. Our content has to be extremely useful for other outlets to give up their “real estate” for it. Otherwise, you can see below how much they charge for advertising. (There is no way to compare news to advertising, but we don’t have any other models to compare to help show the value of our work.) • a 1/6 page ad in The Charleston Gazette can run $728 • a 30 second radio ad on WQBE-AM can be as much as $100 • booking a 30 second spot on WOWK-TV (CBS) costs at least $220 • the average minimum for an Audio News Release (ANR) is $2,000 to produce and distribute one radio actuality statewide None of those buys guarantee a reader will flip to the page your ad is on, won’t change the radio or television station when they go to commercial, or won’t fast forward through the ads with their DVR. With news, we’re providing a highly valuable product that other journalists and media outlets need. And, as new platforms are created, our content adapts easily and supports the rapidly changing news and information environment. West Virginia News Service is an independent public-interest news service and what we do is not advertising or PR, but goes beyond anything that PR can regularly achieve.

Organizations can use mass media outlets to change social conditions and encourage political and social intervention. When working with the media, advocates should ‘shape’ their story to incorporate social themes rather than solely focusing on individual accountability. “Develop a story that personalizes the injustice and then provide a clear picture of who is benefiting from the condition.” (Wallack et al., 1999) Merely stating that there is a problem provides no ‘call to action’ for the public. Therefore, advocates should identify a specific solution that would allow communities to take control of the issue. Sexual violence is a public health concern of social injustices. Effective Media Campaigns Local, regional or statewide campaigns can provide a forum for prevention, outreach and raising awareness to create social change. This toolkit will enhance advocates’ abilities to utilize the media for campaigns and other events. Campaigns can include: public service announcements (PSAs), awareness events (Take Back the Night; The Clothesline Project), media interviews, coordinated events at area schools or college campuses, position papers, etc.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.
